This is not really a condemnation of the legal system. It's simply a data entry error by some clerk somewhere. And once the data about the cat was entered as a real person, then the computers treated it as such and continued from there. I would place the blame no further than the data entry clerk. Past that point, no one else knew the entry was for a cat. John, this is not the kind of thread for logic and reason. I think this juror might be fixed.

These kinds of statements are as wrong as the statements Palin has made. ALL statements like this so nothing to advance any reasonable argument. We can lump them all into the same bag with the shit Al-Quida spouts. I would be described as a "lib". Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

Hello. Welcome to the Psychiatric Hotline: If you are obsessive-compulsive, please press1 repeatedly. If you are co-dependent, please ask someone to press 2 If you have multiple personalities, please press 3, 4, 5, and 6. If you are paranoid-delusional, we know who you are and what you want, so just stay on the line so we can trace the call. If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which number to press. If you are manic-depressive, it doesn’t matter which number you press. No one will answer. If you have an oppositional personality disorder, just smash the receiver against the wall several times and we’ll get back to you.

shit, the only thing i wanna raise is some hell. ill leave the youth to the unselfish people I was born in a different time. My folks were tea-totalin' church goin' people.

Yes The left and its media needs to stop it now! This is not a "left vs. right" thing. This is WRONG thing. Everyone needs to be part of stopping it. "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." Eldrige Clever Hmm so tell me which side is using the AZ shooting to make political points claiming hate speech and incitement by the other? I agree with your quote. but before postitive actions can be taken, the root problem MUST be identified Both sides are using it and both sides are wrong to do it. When there's a mad dog in your yard, you deal with the dog and THEN find out where it came from. These WBC wackos are way over my limit. Where are the denounciations from other "christians"? How can they use the name "Baptist" without condemnation from all the other types of Baptists? Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

Well, the term I used was "hateful speech", not hate speech. Hate speech seems to have conotations of "code words" and inciting people to riot, burn and kill. I hope it's not THAT bad yet. The things Sharon Angle said that Amazon pointed out were an example. But it would be better if it was pointed out by some one on her side of the political fence. There are other examples of the same sort from the other side but I can't bring any to mind right now. When there's a fight on the playing field, there are only 2 or 3 people going at it, to start with. When the other team members grab their own teammate to pull him away, things settle down and they get back to the game. When some one grabs a member of the other team, that's when the "bench clearing brawls" break out. If the moderate Muslims would be more vocal about the fundementalists hijacking their system of belief, that would go a long way toward abating the anti-Muslim retoric. The "silent majority" is the 60 or 70 percent in the middle who are not doing enough to let the loudmouths know what is unacceptable. Hateful speech is what you would NOT say to your moter if you had a disagreement. But I grew up in another time.

I think sophmoric is the word most reader are looking for. I'm not a fan of Palin's but this is dumb. "It's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid than to open it and erase all doubt."

This is exactly what this whole thing needs. Intimidation, fear, and escalation. Yes The left and its media needs to stop it now! This is not a "left vs. right" thing. This is WRONG thing.

The shooting in AZ was terrible. The hateful (vitriolic, if that's the right word) speech comming from BOTH the left and right is awful. But to try and connect them directtly as cause and effect is asinine. In my opinion, it probably makes matters worse. How about if we take all this over the top hateful speech that we wouldn't have been allowed to use in a school debate and call it unacceptable. And let the purveyors of such speech know that we won't accept what they say if they say it thiis way. The nut jobs are an entirely seperate issue. These crazy assholes will start shooting at Rice Crispies after seeing a Coco Puffs comercial. EVERYONE needs to condem the nut cases. EVERYONE needs to recogize speech that is lacking of civility AND the ones who repeat it. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

I have a bunch of pics of that close-up on a hazy day...beautiful. You shoud see the night act the ole Beech puts on...LOTs of pyro coming outta that thing!

Going to one of those is on my bucket list. On a side note: The shot of the Twin Beech in the air with both engines smoking, was anyone surprised?

What about "Proof". "like a bb into dogshit"...... I saw Masters in Dec. of '69. I always liked the idea of skydiving from the Ripcord TV show but when I saw the scene with all the oranges I knew I was going to do it. Two months later I got the chance and my life started down a very different path. Truman Sparks always reminded me of Norm Ross. Norm wann't spacey like Truman but every bit as laid back. Are you sure it was 69'? I could swear that some of the accuracy landings were from the nationals at Plattsburg which was June 70'. But that has been a long time ago and it has been a long time since I last saw the movie. I'm pretty sure it was Masters of the Sky. It was the one with the oranges comming out all over the screen. I am absolutely certain the time was Dec. of '69. I had just gotten back from RVN and had gone to see Easy Rider. The short before the movie was this skydiving thing that was the seed crystal that changed my world. Oh yeah. Easy Rider was pretty cool too. Except the ending sucked.

I'm thinking that it's men telling you "yes." If a tree falls in the woods and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? If a man speaks and no one is there to hear it, is he still wrong? The egg. My search for answers is on the internet… Am I a West Virginia baby alien? The internet gives me proof that I may be. That’s good, I thought I was crazy, but now I know because the internet gives me info to support my every insane thought. Oh, these life question do so boggle me.

Seems that's exactly what some posters here were saying Bush should have done. I love SC opinions and how they flip every four or 8 years. I don't really want any president to stand in the line of fire - mainly, because I've not been impressed with any of our vice presidents in the last couple decades at least. When Bush the First was Pres. the joke (I think it was a joke) was that the Secret Service had standing orders. If the Bush went down, the first thing they were to do is shoot Quayle.

Oh, so YOU guys are Skyride.

Man, I HATE it when that happens. Others may want to ask the question of you but I know how crow tastes. Go easy on the member of your staff. Illustrate what went wrong and how to avoid it next time.

reply] To us, it's a big deal because we understand the meaning. The meaning will not only be lost on future generations, but they'll also never know of the controversies that caused this sort of PC stupidity in the first place. I'm trying to imagine my most favorite book in the world, "To Kill A Mockingbird" minus the "n-word." Without it, the book has no value. Remove Christ from the Bible. It would be no less outrageous. In the Flagler County High School, (30 noth of DeLand) the Thespian Club was about to put on "To Kill a Mocking Bird." About a week from the opennig, it was stopped because it used the word "nigger." The people who stopped it had not read the book (or seen the movie). Ignorance must be the lowest common denominator. But it's not a new thing. About 12 or 13 years ago, there was a meeting in the White House about getting funding for housing in poor areas. There were severel groups in attendence, congressional commitee members and black urban leaders. A White House aid was trying to convince a congressperson to commit more money to the project saying, "We can't be niggardly about this. It's too important." The congressperson happened to be black. He exploded. He made such a thing about it that the aid was let go (fired). Even after it was pointed out to hime and shown in a dictionary that the word had nothing whatsoever to do with race. The congressperson never backed down and never appologized. Ignorance is rampant. On second thought, there is nothing wrong with being ignorant. That just means you haven't learned something yet. If you choose to stay ignorant, THEN you're STUPID. Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.
